Reverse description A plain cross pattée occupies the central field, its arms extending nearly to an inner beaded or plain circle, dividing the field into four quarters. The surrounding Latin legend, introduced by a cross, reads KAR DEI GRA REX SICL, an abbreviation for Karolus Dei Gratia Rex Siciliae, proclaiming Charles I as King of Sicily by the grace of God. The overall composition is typical of Angevin deniers struck at the Messina mint, exhibiting the bold, simply rendered cross design standard for the period.
